Lowery Family Fitness Center

Thanks to the generosity of Ann Lowery, '74, The Parents Fund, and The Cannon Foundation, Meredith College unveiled the Lowery Family Fitness Center on August 28, 2017. A $1 million gift from Lowery named the center after her parents, Herman and Ruth Lowery.

With the campus fitness space expanded by more than 5,400 square feet, Meredith athletic teams benefit from new areas for team training and sports conditioning. The Lowery Center includes a variety of cardio machines, power lifting racks, free weights, resistance machines, medicine balls, bands, and other accessory equipment and technology enhancements to improve user experience for the entire campus community.

Meredith Softball Complex

Meredith's softball field boasts a lush Bermuda grass outfield and a meticulously maintained clay infield. The addition of a crushed clay warning track in the outfield and sidelines enhances drainage and player safety. The Estes-Spate complex provided two new bullpens as well as spectator bathrooms. Meredith's softball complex is one of the best fields in the Atlantic Region. In 2024, a new state-of-the-art scoreboard was added to enhance the game atmosphere even more for players and spectators.

Estes-Speight Family Athletic Center and
Meredith Athletic Hall of Fame

Meredith College held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, September 5, for the Estes-Speight Family Athletic Center. The new athletic center was made possible by Chris Speight Brown, '76, along with her siblings Elizabeth Speight Cooley and Bobby Speight, Jr., who made a $1 million lead gift to name the center in memory of their mother, Mary Estes Speight, '53, and their father, Bobby Speight, NC State All-American basketball player. 

The new athletic building includes two large indoor batting cages, a golf simulator, locker rooms, a student-athlete lounge, and public restrooms. The building is adjacent to the softball field and tennis courts. Brown also funded the Meredith College Athletics Hall of Fame, named for her daughter Lisa Brown De Armas, '03. The Hall of Fame is housed in the Cate Student Center.
